Agustin Acosta
Relief Pitcher | Moose Jaw Dragons
Pitching He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He keeps his pitches low in the strike zone and throws a heavy ball. His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average reliever. Acosta's fastball is a tick above average, in the 90-91 MPH range on most nights. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting Acosta does an average job of holding runners. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Acosta is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Acosta has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Moose Jaw Dragons have been known to use Acosta as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook The Moose Jaw Dragons signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Acosta like a hot potato if something better comes along.
